Mainly about Al Shifa [bombed front of hospital 3]

Very sad, and an irreplaceable loss.

I was wondering if when the Israeli authorities say hospitals were targeted by them because they were used by Hamas, do they really mean wounded Hamas fighters being treated in hospital beds? If so, wouldn’t that be no more than expected?

@Parkingt111 was he the one from Germany? Such sad news either way. There's just no words.

The Palestinian Prisoners Association has called his death an assassination

The Palestinian health ministry said in a statement that Bursh’s death raised to 496 the number of medical sector workers who had been killed by Israel since Oct 7. It added that 1,500 others had been wounded while 309 had been arrested.

I heard the sad news today that one of Gaza's most prominent doctors has died whilst being held for the last four months in an Israeli prison.
Dr Adnan Al Bursh

Israel: ‘Investigate what?’

There have been allegations of organ harvesting without consent made for decades. There was an interview around 2000 of an Israeli doctor who reported organs and tissues had been removed from dead Israelis and Palestinians without consent, although officials stated the practice had been discontinued by that time. I think it's a particularly sensitive concern given the importance of burying the whole person in both Judaism and Islam, the importance of consent for organ donation, and how close these allegations might be seen to blood libel accusations. Hopefully investigations can shed some light on what's happened.

I’m reading comments that organs might have been stolen from those buried near the hospital

This makes me so angry, such lack of respect for human life. Stick a label on someone, regardless of whether or not it’s the truth, and use that as an excuse to do what you want.

No wonder some people are so petrified. They think there are terrorists everywhere!

First kill. Then ask. It feels this people were first arrested and then killed. If they thought they were terrorists they should bring them to court rather than kill them. But I guess every human is a terrorist for them. Even kids.

And how will we ever know? Corpses can't be arrested and interrogated. How convenient

The corpses that have been found belonged to terrorists according to isrsel

kids? Terrorists
elderly? Terrorists
women? Terrorists
doctors ? Terrorists

geoconfirmed acount on Twitter has explained why the bodies found I. The hospital story is misinformation. However , it seems it’s them spreading misinformation (I feel it’s not the first time they do it)

Yes, the soldiers too may fall victims of their own selves through the very things they do.

@ScrollingLeaves thank you

Israeli soldier speaks out on war in Gaza – Channel 4 News
https://www.channel4.com/news/israeli-soldier-speaks-out-on-war-in-gaza

Is there a recorded link for it please?

@ScrollingLeaves I do hope he and others in similar situations can heal in time. Recovering from the trauma of what you have had to do in combat situations is hard enough for people when they are able to rationalise to an extent that there was no alternative to their actions.

Yes, I have just seen that too and agree. It was brave of him. They disguised his voice but I think some aspects could make him traceable.

I would urge people to watch if they can, it is both sobering and moving.

At the end he says something like: when you think of the horror of Oct 7, and the horror of what is now being done to the Palestinians, it is as though Hamas and Netanyahu are on the same side, with no hope for the future for either of our people.

He said he will have to live with what he has taken part in for the rest of his life.

There will be Channel 4 + 1 in 13 minutes.

Very moving ( and disturbing ) interview on channel 4 news with a soldier who recently served with the IDF .

BBC article about the mass graves, including IDF statements

Horrific let's hope this can all be independently verified and investigated

From CNN

There were signs of field executions. We do not know if they were buried alive or executed. Most of the bodies are decomposed."

many news are reporting it was women, elderly and children what they’ve found
